Depression Management and Suicide Prevention
Our aim is to provide you with the latest evidence, knowledge and skills on the area of depression management and suicide prevention. Both are highly prevalent worldwide but they can be prevented and treated as long as multidisciplinary approach is fostered. In this summer school course we will address the holistic and evidence based modalities to prevent adverse incidents, foster harm reduction and increase the quality of life of patients and family having problems with mood disorders and/or self-destructive behaviour.
The Faculty of Health at the University of Applied Science provides a two-week summer school course: depression management and suicide prevention. You will have the privilege of working with students from 10 to 15 different countries at the university level from various disciplines such as psychology, medicine, sociology, biology, political science, nursing and para-medic. The lectures and workshops will be provided by a competent team of experts from: the Netherlands, Ireland, USA, Germany, UK, Greece, and Finland. They carry decades of clinical experience in working with depression and suicide cases.
We will share our expertise in this area by using a variety of ways to integrate the following teaching methods: relevant scientific overviews by lectures, skill demonstrations, reflective exercises, working groups and student presentations. Therefore you are required to be present for at least 80% of all the lecture hours. On July 14, 2017 we will provide the certificate of attendance if the following criteria are met: evident active participation in reflective and skill exercises and an active and concrete contribution in the final sub group presentation. The final assignment will be agreed on, on the first day of the course. This assignment will either be focused on depression management and suicide prevention at a specific region in the world or a contribution to a specific discipline regarding the focus of this course. You will be provided with ICT facilities to get to this point and you can also rely on academic supervision during this process of working out your final working group presentation. In specific cases the presentations will be converted into draft articles to be submitted to an international peer reviewed journal.
If this active participation and academic presentation are not met at the end of the course you will have to deliver a written academic essay about depression management and suicide prevention (This means that you will not receive the certificate on July 14, 2017 but after you have delivered the required essay).
